Falling Out of Time

1) The tagged book is my fave most recently read hybrid book. It was the last book of '22. A profound & moving blend of prose, poetry & drama that explores grief & loss.
2) An epistolary saga as a road novel through America.
3) Motivational Romance, lol

The_Penniless_Author You pretty much stole my 3rd response 😂 2y

RaeLovesToRead I love the idea of 2, and your 3 sounds suitably horrific! Although, this one kinda fits the bill..

He's Just Not That Into You (The Newly Expanded Edition): The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys

vivastory @The_Penniless_Author At first I wrote Self-Help Romance & I was like, wait that's weird 😂 2y

vivastory @RaeLovesToRead I have yet to see a single episode of Sex & The City 2y

The_Penniless_Author That's what I wrote 🤣🤣🤣 2y

RaeLovesToRead @vivastory Neither have I, although someone made me sit through the movie once. Bloody hell, it was awful! 2y

RaeLovesToRead (Although I will say, despite being toxic, heteronormative crap, I still gave the tagged book 3 stars because my teenage self learned the hard way!) 2y

vivastory @The_Penniless_Author 😂 😂 2y

vivastory @RaeLovesToRead I just googled to see how many movies there were & was surprised that it's 2. For some reason it seemed like more. 2y

BarbaraBB The Grossman was so good! A favorite author of mine 2y

vivastory @BarbaraBB This is the only one that I have read by him. Do you have other recommendations? 2y

BarbaraBB It‘s a chunkster but this one is so incredibly good

To the End of the Land

BarbaraBB The one you read it kind of a sequel to this one ⬆️ (edited) 2y

Someone to Run With

#BookReport
This week I read...wait for it...1 Penguin Little Black Classic & the tagged book. (cue sad trombone music) I have a lot of stuff going on, so I have been watching too many random YouTube videos (there's some weird shit on there y'all) & catching up on my favorite bookish podcasts which sort of counts. I guess?!? Oh well, here's to a good '23. 🍷(BTW the tagged book was phenomenal.)
@cinfhen

Bookzombie I think we sometimes need a little break from reading even though it‘s something we love. 🙂 I do this myself. Fall into shows and YouTube videos. Happy New Year!! 2y

vivastory @Bookzombie Happy New Year! I don't watch much tv, so in general I don't feel bad & I actually read more books this yr than I have in a few yrs but I do get frustrated with myself when I have all of this extra time off around the holidays & I veg out watching hrs of tv. But I do agree with you. 2y

Leftcoastzen What is scary is I watched this on Hulu and dare I say for once the TV series was better than the book!

Fleishman Is in Trouble

vivastory @Leftcoastzen The ads for that keep coming up...on the booktube videos I've been watching lol 2y

Bookzombie @vivastory I understand totally. I don‘t feel like I used time my off in December to read as much as I wanted and feel frustrated also. 2y

Cinfhen Podcasts definitely counts!! And as long as you were enjoying and relaxing it‘s all good!! Happy New Year 🎊 2y

vivastory @Cinfhen Happy New Year 🥳 2y

batsy Definitely need that reading break at times, just to veg out or consume some fun TV 😁 Happy New Year, Scott 🥂 2y

Reggie Omg, the YouTube shorts will catch me and not let me go sometimes. 2y

ReadingEnvy Ooh have you read the book that comes before

Traveling Sprinkler

vivastory @ReadingEnvy Is it The Anthologist? If so, I loved it. It's one of my favorite novels about poetry 7y

ReadingEnvy @vivastory yes oh goodness. I made an index for that book so I could see all the poets mentioned,.. and then sought most of them out. Because who reads rhyming poetry? 7y

vivastory @ReadingEnvy Edward Hirsch used Baker's description of enjambment for

Poet's Glossary

vivastory @ReadingEnvy Did you wind up discovering any new favorite poets? 7y

ReadingEnvy @vivastory Sara Teasdale is the one that I remember most, specifically never hearing of her before the book, reading everything after, finding favorites that were excluded from her "collected" poems 7y

vivastory @ReadingEnvy I haven't read her in a few years, but I recall liking what I read. 7y

xdisplaynamex I just finished Falling Out of Time. Have you read it yet? What did you think? 7y
